The wine list is comprehensive with nearly three hundred bottles to choose from. The Wild Goose Grill takes its name from the Wild Geese, those successive waves of Irishmen who left their country to serve in the armies of continental Europe during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The Wild Geese scattered far and wide, distinguishing themselves on battlefields from France and Spain to South America. To this day, you can see their legacy in the proud Irish names written on street signs from Madrid to Buenos Aires. But the Wild Geese also left another legacy in their adopted lands, a legacy that bears fruit to this day. From the great vineyards of Bordeaux to the wineries of the new world, the Irish have become famous for making good wine. Many of the wines they produce are now world renowned brands, with names like Lynch and Barton synonymous with excellence.

But it is popular and early bookings are essential, and this does not always suit our last minute decision habits! Atmosphere is good. Understated entrance leads up stairs (two flights) to nicely laid out restaurant area divided into two main sections. Tables have just about the right separation for privacy, and it's a full linen service. We had a selection of seafood (tuna, scallop and squid) as a starter. Very nicely presented and prepared. For main course we shared Cote de Boeuf. A very large rib eye on the bone, carved at the table. Again excellent presentation and preparation. At €58 for two, the main course was expensive, but did include all sauces and vegetables. Chipped and pureed potatoes, as well as pureed root vegetables. Deserts were good, but the cheeseboard was dissapointing. Cheap convenience store type cheeses. Sorry guys, but if you are going to serve cheese (€14), you must treat it with as much care as your other courses. Service throughout the evening was excellent, and manager - Sheerin - was very helpful and informative. Overall, we thought the experience was very good. However, expensive (but quite ordinary) wines plus the high costs of all menu items, makes this quite an expoensive night out! 4.0 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_empty.png 07 May 2012 04 May 2012 calafort Guru 4311 Ate here recently with two of the 'girls'... we had a really lovely evening..style and overall atmosphere of the restaurant is we all agreed really excellent. This is a smart place! We all had a goats cheese with aubergine starter which was delicious and plates were clean after. I had the hake for my main course and it was the nicest piece of fish I have had in a long time...delicious. We had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc between 2 of us and I had two glasses of Salice Salentino - a gorgeous Italian red. Service was impeccable. The early bird runs all night on a Wednesday so all this lovely food/drink was at excellent prices. Cant honestly think of anything bad to say about the place and will definitely be back. Go visit! 5.0 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png 12 Mar 2012 07 Mar 2012 gourmetgirl Connoisseur 4311 Enjoyed the early bird menu for starter and main and opted for dessert from a la carte. Starter, lemon sole, quite nice but badly presented in a small bowl on a plate making for an awkward eating experience. Main course, lamb, was very nicely presented in cylindrical form atop mash and peas. Wines, red and white, were nice. Dessert was sadly not as good as I expected it to be. I love the layout of the restaurant and will certainly return. 4.5 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_half.png 29 Feb 2012 28 Feb 2012 hotfoodie Guru 4311 Instant warm atmosphere when stepped inside the door. The place was bustling on the particular Friday evening we went here. We both had the Soup of the day for starters which was divine!!! Had the Venison for main course,which i had never had before. I was cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavour. Could not manage a dessert,although the portions initially appreared small they were extremely filling. Great atmosphere and excellent food. 4.9 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png 31 Jan 2012 06 Jan 2012 hazel_costello@hotmail.com Connoisseur 4311 Excellent restaurant with a great atmosphere. Food is very impressive indeed. The only fault I would have is that our white wine was not left on table which meant we were waiting a while to get more. when glasses were running low 5.0 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png 15 Jan 2012 14 Jan 2012 areuhavingalaugh Newbie 4311 Another favourite of mine thats very consistent . Really good food everytime and great selection of wine. My only gripe about Wild goose grill would be the tables are a little too close together for my liking although some would say it adds to the atmosphere its also a little intrusive ,not so bad if you are at the window seats Excellent service/food in a central location !!! 4.8 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png 17 Dec 2011 19 Oct 2011 jimcars Newbie 4311 Six of us had dinner here on Saturday evening. There were a lot of what appeared to be Christmas parties, which in fact added to the buzzing atmosphere. I had the scallops which were cooked to perfection and served on pea and ham risotto, I couldn't fault it. All of our starters were really good except for maybe the crab starter which we felt was not at the same level. All of our main courses were beautiful. We had no complaints. The wine was flowing and we had a really good evening. I will definitely be back. 4.3 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_half.png 12 Dec 2011 10 Dec 2011 mgleeson Foodie 4311 I'd been here 3 wks previous and was therefore really looking forward to it again. 6 of us had a really great night - food as always was fantastic (for 4 of us anyway) and the wine flowed (when we asked...). I had recommended this place to my party of six and I'll go back again based on previous experiences but I'm not sure the rest of my party would. As I said, food was amazing, but only for 4 of us - the goose, it's namesake, was as tough as ol' boots - and I brought to the waiters attention who was very apologetic - but it still appeared on the bill, it was taken off after again raising the point. We had two other gripes - we very disappointed the 'cote de boeuf' wasn't available, despite being available to other guests who'd arrived later than we had. And the wine, the place was busy but I was under the impression restaurants made their money on wine, we had to ask a number of times for more wine. Other than that we had a fantastic time, food was great, atmosphere great and will definitely be going again! 4.6 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_half.png 21 Nov 2011 18 Nov 2011 IndianLover! Connoisseur 4311 We had a really good time on Friday night. Enjoyed the food very much and wine was superb! I did book the table in advance because the restaurant was fully booked previous Friday.

The atmosphere, service and food were superb. I never even knew this place existed, a great spot in the heart of Ranelagh, will be returning soon. 4.8 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png 04 Sep 2011 20 Jul 2011 thebudda Foodie
